"But what triumph there was in the spirit I cannot write or speak; nor can it be compared with anything but that in the midst of death life is born, and compares with the resurrection of the dead. In this light my spirit immediately saw everything and recognised God in all creatures, even in herbs and grass, who he is and how he is, and what his will is."
